    • Research Interests

    Solar Wind Formation

    Investigating structures in the ambient solar wind as tracers of solar wind formation. We use remote imaging data and in situ measurements in the heliosphere.

    Solar Coronal Heating

    Researching active regions and quiet Sun plasmas by developing new analyses of the multi-wavelength Solar Dynamics Observatory/ Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (SDO/AIA) data. Use physics-based coronal flux tube models to understand coronal heating and for the interpretation of line-of-sight effects in coronal observations.
